First of all, it's been a while since I have blogged. The reason that I started a blog in the first place was to have an outlet where people (future employers) could get to know me, my personal life, and my personality. I want people to know what I stand for, and why I feel like I would be a valuable asset as a friend or potential employee.
Second of all, I have a lot of thoughts swirling around in my brain. A LOT. Seriously, it feels like 15 brainstorming sessions in my head, with 20 different people screaming at the top of their lungs to be heard! Maddening! The worst part is that I can't hear all of them at once, so they often go unheard. (That's right, I actually want to listen to the voices in my head. They're all me, after all, plus they aren't telling me to do awful things! .... Usually.). This means that blogging is an outlet for my imagination. I can write down my ideas and, more importantly, get feedback from others. I do most of my learning by listening to what others have to say, so why wouldn't I bounce ideas off of people?
Third, and most importantly, I've struggled with wanting to blog because I keep thinking of the things I feel are most important to me. I am so worried about catering to what other people will think, that I didn't stop to think that, maybe if I wrote what was important to me, and why, maybe it would impact them somehow!
So, starting today, I am working on a major project that will take several months to prepare for - a video blog. I will write down my thoughts here, convert them into video form, and hopefully reach a larger audience that I can influence to do better for others.
I hope that people will watch and/or read my blogs and realize that there are small ways they can impact someone's life, and the main thing they need to do is open their minds, their hearts and their eyes, and close their mouths. How else can you find out about what is going on in the world? More importantly, how else can you learn what YOU can do to make a positive impact?
I think I will be able to do this. A call to action blog, so to speak. I won't be asking anyone to do something so crazy and wild that it would be impossible - I'm asking simply for people to try.
There will be more details to come, but I just wanted to make this known.
